dynamic-security.json file is full of duplicate entries for clients and roles

[ado-git]

client and role entries repeat hundreds of times. I have 4 users and 4 roles, and the file is 200kbs long already, and it keeps growing. The interesting part is that moquitto keeps working fine.

It´s good to know that i frequently enable/disable the users via the dinamic security plugin and also change passwords. I´ve done it hundreds of times just for one of this 4 users. But entries are duplicate for each of this 4 users and the roles assigned to them.

It has to be a bug because it happens on ubuntu server, but not in windows, as far as i have tested.

Same here: mosquitto works, but there are many duplicate entires in dynamic-security.json. The duplicates are also listed when the admin lists users, groups etc.

This appears to be caused by the dynsec plugin being loaded more than once, which isn't currently allowed but wasn't being checked for by the plugin.

For 2.0.15 I am disabling this behaviour, so your config file will need modifying. If you're using per_listener_settings true then I'm afraid there isn't currently a satisfactory solution.

For 2.1.0 I'm going to try to think of a better solution.
